Cardiff Council is consulting on introducing a 20mph speed limit in part of Cathays and Plasnewydd. They hope this will improve road safety, make it easier for people to walk and cycle, increase sociability and generally make Cardiff a nicer place to live.

The proposed 20mph zone will only have speed limit signs, there won’t be any road humps or other traffic calming measures installed.

In September 2011 the coalition government confirmed it would only electrify the Great Western main line between Cardiff and London by about 2017. They said that the business case did not support electrification to Swansea.

Bolivia's first indigenous president, Evo Morales, announced he would call off a controversial highway construction project after nearly a thousand demonstrators from the Bolivian indigenous communities showed their opposition to the scheme.

A Freedom of Information request by the South Wales Echo to South Wales Police revealed that in 2009, the most recent year available, 5,777 drivers were caught speeding by the Cardiff’s 21 fixed speed cameras.
